This lock is recognized by the TSA (Transportation Security Administration), and allows the TSA to open the lock should the need arise for a security search. It can then be re-locked by the TSA with no damage to the lock or your bag.

This lock is different than most, because the shackle is operated by a push button on the side. To open or close the lock, the correct combination must first be dialed in and then the push button must be pressed and held down to keep the shackle open.

An advantage is that the correct combination can be dialed in and left so that it is only necessary to push the button to open the shackle. With an ordinary lock, leaving the correct combination set would leave the shackle wide open, probably resulting in the lock falling off.

However, like several other reviewers, I also lost my lock to the TSA, possibly because they used their master key and didn't know to take the extra step of then pushing the button. Tumi may want to consider labeling the button with "push" or "push to open".

Otherwise, the lock seems to be of quality construction, and is slightly less bulky than many other TSA locks. I came to this site to order a replacement, but if it is again lost by the TSA, I'll likely switch back to a more traditional lock.

Even though this lock has a TSA code, I have had (2) of them removed over the last few months on domestic flights here in the United States. I have no idea why TSA keeps on removing the lock and not putting it back on my suitcase....
